I Don'T Want To Read Your Blog Brian Strand

I Don't Want To Read Your Blog Brian Strand.
I just want to write a poem.
I'm done with instructions.
I'm done with obedience.
I'm done with the topsy.
Just give me the turvy.
Turvy, turvy, turvy all the time.
I'm done with repetition.
I'm done with repeating myself.
Give me two minutes and I'll make you a paper airplane.
Give me four minutes and I'll make your 2 paper airplane.
Our mouth is the hangar for all ideation sounds.
Then you have these vagabond words,
Escaping without an open hole,
Utilizing these stringy little fingers,
Doing some sort of Fred Astaire number.
Someone call the word plumber.
This be clogged.

Mystic Rose Rose July 17, 2022 at 1:39 PM Matt I try and keep my contest simple, three page instructions is not for me, when we get to complicated with rules, we lose the creativity part, its nice to keep a balance, between structure and free thoughts. I also want to thank you for my placement, I am honored you liked it, :)

I Am Anaya July 11, 2022 at 6:51 PM Hello, Matt, hope you are well. There is a contest called "Bee Creative" Sponsored by Matt Caliri. It has never been judged, or has it? Maybe I have missed it? I Am Anaya August 17, 2022 at 2:51 PM I also want to thank you for my placement, I am honored you liked it as well! Matt Caliri July 17, 2022 at 10:39 AM I just finished judging it. Sorry for the delay!

Matt Caliri June 29, 2022 at 10:35 PM Thanks for all your praise, guys! Let it be on record I have nothing against Brian Strand. I'm sure he's a great guy. I just didn't want to read his blog, no biggie. And, yes, it was a bit of a jab against people who sort of over-require for their poetry entries. But no worry beef curry.

John Lawless June 20, 2022 at 11:22 AM I was at a large meeting once where they were deciding whether or not to bar a frequently unsettling member. One person simply stated "The only issue I have is that if you succeed in banning him sooner or later you'll get around to mel" L Milton Hankins June 21, 2022 at 12:22 PM Hey, folks, he is a classic narcissist, and he is getting his jollies out of his name being here ad nauseum and his self-designated "expertise" in poetry. That's okay with me, really, but enough is enough, as far as I'm concerned. And, what you say is an absolutely acceptable way of looking at it. Remember, only unsettling if you let him be! Jenna Logan June 21, 2022 at 6:51 AM Hi, John. Your comment has me thinking about Lord of the Flies. I don't like the thought of banning anyone, except trolls and bullies. The adage, 'too much of a good thing' doesn't fit the situation either. Egotism is not a good thing.

Jenna Logan June 20, 2022 at 6:52 AM Need a snake to clear the toilet and an escape route for vagabond words. Sounds like a plan to clear up lots of things. I've been tired of it for months, blocked and that's fine with me. I stopped reading the topsy and the turvy long ago. I never did learn how to make a paper airplane. Good write and title. Hat off to ya!

L Milton Hankins June 19, 2022 at 2:28 PM I couldn't agree more, Matt. I'm also tired of reading his so-called "poetry." So, I don't. I'm happier for it.
